Famous quotes containing the words naval, air and/or service:

“The world was a huge ball then, the universe a might harmony of ellipses, everything moved mysteriously, incalculable distances through the ether.
We used to feel the awe of the distant stars upon us. All that led to was the eighty-eight naval guns, ersatz, and the night air-raids over cities. A magnificent spectacle.
After the collapse of the socialist dream, I came to America.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

“The air split into nine levels,
Some gift of tongues of the whistler”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)

“Television could perform a great service in mass education, but there’s no indication its sponsors have anything like this on their minds.”
